All about The Charles Café

The inspiration for the Malay Monday was initiated after a conversation with one of our local guests who joined us for breakfast. Afterwards I thought it a great idea to get to know the heritage of the area the café is situated in, De Waterkant. I am originally from Johannesburg and not ever being a fan of curries and spicy dishes, I found the Cape Malay style pleasantly different to what I knew of "Indian" food. I became interested in the concept to explore a food culture I wasn't familiar with, and to share that with others. Hence Malay Mondays!

We started last week Monday 3rd April, with a limited amount of food prepared. The chef still joked that I would be filling up my fridge later that night with leftovers for the week. But we sold out on all dishes! The Tasting option on the menu proved quite favourable. This option is for those who would like to try a little bit of everything, a malay tapas.

Feel like joining us for lunch and dinner on Malay Mondays? Booking advisable. Not sure? Check out the menu here

Tavolata is Italian and in English means something like "convivial table". The special feature of a Tavolata is the convivial food on a large table, each of which is served on large plates. A Tavolata brings people together. Many tables are put together to form a large table, various dishes in pots and on plates placed in their midst and enjoyed by the guests and friends of The Charles Café as they please. Tavolata stands for (self)-organised table assemblies. The idea behind it - discussing together, laughing, but also eating and enjoying. Interesting conversations are being made and joint activities planned. The food is placed in beautifully arranged plates, large bowls and bottles with wine and water directly on the table, so that all can serve themselves. Great value is placed on high quality and freshly prepared food.
